How to unlock the Going the Distance achievement in RAIDEN FIGHTERS ACES - Definitive Guide
You could do this the legit way, playing the game for 96 hours, OR you could make it a lot easier by using a turbo controller. The game has time counters for each of the 3 Raiden games, and from what I've experienced, they work properly. These counters have to add up to be 96 or more hours. The way I did this was using a turbo controller with the A button turbo'ed on training mode of the first stage of Raiden Fighters 2. Set the difficulty to Practice, and enemy fire to 0%. The A button keeps you firing and once you finish the stage the A button will start the stage over again. Do this for as many hours as you need. This solution will also get you Miclus's for the Miclus Hunter achievement, since there is one that appears in the middle of the map during the stage. Happy gaming!
Play for 96 hours of play time. You have to keep it going for 96 hours. If you want to keep your box running for a long period of time and have a turbo controller tape down button, set the game to practice and let it run with the TURBO active. I recommend you install it to the hard drive to make it run cooler and faster.
96 HOURS ACCUMULATIVE PLAY
- Between all three games|
- ANY mode: Training, Arcade, Score Attack, XBox Live
- TURBO controller HIGHLY recommended
You may get this one on your own if you're going for the 50m or 100m score achievements, but if you just want to get this one or the other time-related achievements with minimal effort, there are two easiest ways, depending on your setup:
A) WITH a Turbo Controller
1) Set up 'training mode' of the first stage of Raiden Fighters 2, set
difficulty to Practice, and enemy fire to 0%
2) Turbo the A button and keep it stuck it down with something (I
used sticky (blue) tack, and it usually stuck down just fine for
several hours)
*The A button keeps you firing and once you finish the stage the A button
will start the stage over again
*As 'Matty to tha G' stated in the 96 hour solution, the benefit of this level is that it will also net you the Miclus Hunter achievement, as there is one that appears in your path during the stage :)
B) WITHOUT a Turbo Controller
1) It's not revolutionary or thrilling, but the best way I've found is to do step 'A1' above,
but also make sure your lives are set to 99
2) With 99 lives, you'll sail through the stage not firing anything, still picking up the
Miclus - and you'll spend more time at the boss than you normally would. I'd hoped
you might sit at him forever, but he dies eventually
3) 'All you have to do' is hit the A button a couple times every now and then to reset the
next level. It isn't fast or fully automated, but can at least be accomplished while doing
something else
